1953 Map of Saginaw

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The St Louis River defines the southern portion of this landscape, winding past the Fond Du Lac Indian Reservation and Pine Island. This 1950s survey, with photorevisions from 1969, reveals a region heavily shaped by the rail industry and timber resources of St. Louis County. At the intersection of the Duluth Missabe and Iron Range and the Duluth and Northeastern railroads, the settlement of Saginaw served as a key transit point. Further north, the community of Grand Lake (Saginaw PO) is established near its namesake water body. The area's social history is marked by sites like Brevator Cem and Holy Family Cem, while the interior is dotted with numerous gravel pits and an Old Railroad Grade, indicating the logistical infrastructure required to support local extraction and transport during the mid-20th century.
